This is a legendary Joyride. I hope it's worth his stay in Leavenworth.

Poor guy must have cracked under the pressure or had some sort of a meltdown.
Or maybe it was his turn to do the beer run?

In any case he is in a world of s***!

(Reuters) - A soldier stole an armored personnel carrier from a National Guard base in Virginia on Tuesday and took the vehicle on a two-hour
drive that ended in a police chase through downtown Richmond, the state capital, state police said.

The suspect then drove the military vehicle, which was not equipped with any weaponry, east on Route 460 and then north into Richmond on Interstate 95
at about 40 miles (65 km) per hour, Geller said.

Once in Richmond, several police squads followed the armored personnel carrier, which travels on tracks similar to a tank, through downtown as it
headed toward the Capitol building, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported.

Capitol police officers with combat-style rifles guarded the entrance to Capitol Square as a police helicopter shined a spotlight on the vehicle and
police worked to stop traffic, the newspaper reported.

“This is INSANE! Someone has hijacked a ‘Tank-like’ vehicle from Fort Pickett and just drove it by our apartment!,” Parker Slaybaugh, the
communications director for the Virginia Speaker of the House, said.

Police tased the suspect, who was identified as a military soldier, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Keeli Hill said during a news conference.

I'm glad nobody was hurt and that we can have a chuckle about this.
Drive safe everyone!

Yet they think us knuckle draggers are the problem in the military, I bet officers across the military were writing up a new death by power point
while this was going on, and now they will pretend it never happened.

He wrote a series of odd tweets Tuesday, including: “where is this damn water buffalo” ”all i wanna do is get an anime wife“ and ”wow I
think I just discovered a large illegal spy operation in the us government.“

my tank!! so close, and yet so far away....
lol... the first thing I thought of this morning when I heard this was....
It wasn't me!!!
hope the guy had fun, because well,.. got a feeling he's gonna be paying a pretty steep price for his joy ride...

I don't know, given those tweets or whatever they were, I'm guessing a stay at an institution is in his immediate future. What comes after that, as
you say, will be fairly steep and long.

Well his first step will be to be brought before a sanity board. If they decide hes sane he will go to jail along time. Odds aren't good for him in
the military you have to be a raving lunatic they deem 1 our of 100 insane. And only half of those are fou d unfit to stand trial.

The Lieutenant will be found to be unfit for military service and medically discharged. He, then, will be placed into the custody of the Virginia
police and adjudicated. He, mostly likely, will not see any military time because the military doesn't want to spend any resources on these type of
matters...just get rid of him.

Ok so the dude took it for a ride n one hert not even any damage .
If the dude is clean he will get community service lol .
